Default Distributor Question!

I was wondering if it was possible to switch the internals out of my 91 CRX SI dist. and put them into a 96+ distributor? Im doing this because i dont want to use the d16a6 distributor on my d16y8 (im staying obd0). Will everything bolt up correct on this?

you could just cut and solder the plugs to work.

If you're staying obd0 why not use the A6 dizzy on the y8 head.??

Ditto, the a6 should bolt to the y8 head. Plus you will probably run into shaft diameter difference problems with the exciter ring/ring driveshaft etc.
